    It does but really doesn’t need it since it has very good ad blocking built into it. Also, Brave isn’t considered a major browser AFAIK

    If it doesn't support a feature equivalent to uBlock Origin, I can't consider it to be a major browser. As someone pointed out, the reality is that the interweb becomes practically unusable without it. I dumped Firefox years ago for Brave and it was such a major improvement.

    Brave is based on Chromium, so pretty much. Over 100 million active users. Sure that's only like 1 percent market share, but the market is enormous. You can totally have a healthy business model with 100 million users.
